RE: Lease Purchase Agreement No. FLM107, dated as of April 7, 1997,
between PRINTRAK International, Inc. ("Lessor") and the City of Miami
("Lessee").
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are counsel to Lessee and, in that capacity, we have examined the referenced
agreement,' including Schedule No. 1 thereto, (collectively, the "Agreement"). Based
upon the examination of the Agreement, Resolution No. 96-627, adopted by the
Commission of the City of Miami on September 12, 1996, and such other documents as
we deem relevant, it is our opinion that:
1. Lessee is a municipal corporation and political subdivision of the State of
Florida (the "State"), duly organized, existing and 'operating under the Constitution and
laws of the State.
.2. Lessee is authorized to enter into the Agreement, and to carry out its
obligations thereunder.
3. The Agreement has been duly authorized, approved and executed on behalf
of Lessee, and it constitutes a legal, valid and binding contract of Lessee enforceable in
accordance with its terms, except to the extent limited by State and Federal laws affecting
remedies and by bankruptcy, reorganization or other laws of general application relating to
or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights.
4. The entering into and performance of the Agreement will not violate any
judgment, order, law or regulation applicable to the Lessee or result in any breach of, or
OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY/444 S.W. 2nd Avenue, Suite 945/Miami, Florida 33130-1910
constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien, charge or other
encumbrance upon any assets of the Lessee or on the Asset(s) subject to the Agreement
pursuant to any instrument to which the Lessee is a party or by which it or its assets may
be bound.
5. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending against or affecting the
Lessee in any court, or before any governmental body which, if adversely determined, will
have a material, adverse effect on the ability of the Lessee to perform its obligations under
the Agreement and, to the best of our knowledge, no such actions are threatened.
6. The Assets are personal property, and when used by the Lessee will not
become fixtures under the laws of the State.
7. The execution of the Agreement was authorized by Resolution No, 96-627,
adopted by the governing body of Lessee on September 12, 1996, which resolution has
not been amended, modified, supplemented or repealed and remains in full force and
effect.
Very truly yours,
